MOLP 4 Opens on 1st October 2017

Now in its fourth year, #MOLP4 has an incredible prize fund of £3,000, which will be awarded in each category as follows:

First Prize – £1,000

Second Prize – £300

Third Prize – £100

Two Highly Commended – £50

We also plant a tree for every single entry we receive in Boré, Kenya and we’ll email you the GPS coordinates of it once the contest has closed and we’ve received confirmation of them from The Word Forest Organisation.

Additionally, your entry will also help fund the construction of another much needed new classroom in one of the schools in the same community – click here to see the one our previous contests built.

Key Dates for Your Diary

Open for entries 1st October 2017, through to midnight on 31st December 2017

Entries must be written in English and must be your own previously unpublished work

Entries must show no name, address or identifying marks other than the title

You may submit as many entries as you wish

The Magic Oxygen Literary Prize is the only writing contest where everyone wins, as we plant a tree for every single entry in our Word Forest and build classrooms in impoverished communities in Coast Province, Kenya too.

The positive impact that previous MOLPs have had, led to us starting The Word Forest Organisation, an NGO specifically founded to replicate the incredible reforestation and classroom building work we’ve done, throughout the Coast Province of Kenya.
